Vintage style wedding dresses

I've been looking at the antony and candy wedding dresses but £2000 is a bit steep for a MSE bride and I've come across this site in America which is pretty similar to Antony and Candy and comes out at about £300-£500

Hope this helps someone. If you search for Dolly couture on ebay or google it will list all her dresses as I can't post links on here

    There's also Vivien of Holloway on ebay, they do similar dresses for under £100, although the petticoats are extra.

    I loved the Antony and Candy dresses but was too pregnant to wear one :(

    They're both so pretty I want them both!

    I also adore the Candy Anthony dresses but I think they would be way over my budget :(

    eta: Sorry about the size of these I didn't realise they would look so big, ooops.

    They look quite a simple style don't they, it wouldn't take much to make your own and put your own twist on it.
    They are gorgeous dresses. :cool:

    I love these dresses!

    If you have facebook you can add her as a friend and see actual brides wearing them on their wedding day.

    I potentially have a friend making my dress, a graduating fashion student so not too bad if it happens. However if this doesn't pan out I will be perfectly happy to order from here, personally I'll be going for a manhattan!
